The last Serb war crimes suspect wanted in The Hague hid from international
justice in Russia before his arrest, investigators said yesterday.

Goran Hadzic, the former Croatian-Serb leader who was captured in northern
Serbia on Wednesday, faces extradition from Belgrade to the UN war crimes
tribunal today to face charges of the murder and ethnic cleansing of
thousands of people during the Balkans war, including the 1991 hospital
massacre in Vukovar.

Investigators believe that Mr Hadzic had close ties to the underworld and used
his contacts among war profiteers who did business with Serbia and Croatian
Serbs in the 1990s.
